Narrative:
On or about mar/xa/02, my other mechanic, mr. X, noticed while performing a tire change that it appeared that the airplane had flown past a required 100 hour inspection. This airplane is used in flight training and rental and some personal use. I told mr X that I recalled having performed an inspection in either late january or early february prior to that time, but couldn't recall the date or hours, and I would locate that form where the work was completed. My forms were in disarray and not in the normal place adjacent my desk, as several persons, including mr X, have been going through my desk and files while I was out of town and not putting back documents where they got them.
